Hi All. Hoodee from Australia. Looks like a great forum and looking forward to finding some info and maybe even giving some.
I have had quite a few T5 s. Transporter and multivans over the years. I have a few now that I am wrecking and I do ALL my own work to them. Servicing and major mechanical. I am not a mechanic but I have learnt as I have always lived fairly isolated..and I just prefer to do the work myself.
My main van is a 05 128kw AXE T5 transporter LWB 4motion 5 seater 6spd manual with almost 600,000km on it. I believe its the original engine. It still goes but requires a lot of things done so I am shortly going to retire it. I already purchased a really nice 2010 T5 LWB CFCA Auto 5 seater with quite low km for the right price. Its got a buggered engine. The guy I purchased it from just spent a whole lot of money on it..dpf, injectors, new turbos, egr..ect..but the poor fellow was fisted as the damage to the engine was already done.
Anyway..I have already rebuilt a CFCA myself before..its actually still sitting in my shed but I have sold it, so I will pull this motor and do the same. Rebore. Recond head. Bearings, oil pump ect..
I want to completely remove the egr and I have seen the complete egr removal kit (for about $800au) but I was going to just make my own using the Amarok oil cooler. Any tips? I have not actually thoroughly searched the threads here but a quick search didn't show a lot..or a step by step guide on really getting completely rid of the main issue that haunts all the CFCA engines.
May even do a whole build thread on the engine if someone else is interested.
I use Spareto.com for most of my VAG parts. They are the best company I have dealt with for parts and the shipping to Australia is unbelievably quick and reasonably priced using DHL.
Anyway.. that's my bit done
